Some moments in history are so powerful, you cannot forget where you were when they occurred. The Moon Landing*. When the Berlin Wall fell**. And now, when Katy Perry said "Wig" on national television.

All the gays in the audience already know what's going on here. 18-year-old contestant and blossoming gay icon Noah Davis said "wig" before his American Idol audition, Katy Perry freaked out that he said it, and fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan (plus every str8 person watching the show) were left dazed wondering, "What is wig?"

Basically, it's a stan Twitter (superfan) term for when a pop star does something so iconic, your metaphorical wig goes flying.

Anyways, I feel like the more I try to explain this the more I'm going to confuse you. You simply *HAVE* to watch the clip from last night's premiere. There are no words in the English language that will do this moment justice...aside from me repeating "WIG" ad nauseum.
